Benelli Leoncino 500 English review - Onroad.bike

[@theozchannel7557]

thank you sir the first ever review in English I suggest you add English review in the title of the video and I'm sure you would find many likes and views on this video

[@alexarna]

Really great review. Also really happy to see a review with a tall guy like myself. Thanks!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

Always a very detailed review. Got my like and full watch. Keep it up. The Leoncino is a great value machine in my opinion.

[@genegoodwin8925]

I like the little lion on the front, but I do not like the placement of the rear license plate holder and light. I would HAVE to move that either on the side where it bolts to the swingarm or up under the seat.

[@wickedleeloopy2115]

Good review....is the seat comfortable. I sat on it & found it firm. Would you consider it all day comfortable?

[@indrasoebagjo]

1. Where's the sound demo? 2. Does it have traction control?

[@ziyak99]

That's a really good review. I wish you had gone a little more in depth with some of the tech specs. Overall, it was very refreshing to see an unbiased and practical review. Good work. I also personally think the Lion is little OTT(over the top) but I guess it's their pride. Though, having said that, it's a very well designed emblem.

[@l6j8b32]

Is there any way to remove the lion from the front fender? I thought the same thing when I sat on one, that's a little too much. Very impressive bike though.

[@photographerjonathan]

Benelli makes some nice looking bikes. and it sounds nice, but how is the dependability compared to a Japanese bike ?

[@oliveroliver7330]

The lion is the emblem of the city of Pesaro, where Benelli has its headquarters !!!

[@ilhamsabirin4673]

Nice review.. How about the throttle response at all rev range? Is it accurate and smooth?

[@souvikchatterjee1621]

Is it suitable for long drive??

[@specialized29er86]

I'm going to remove the Lion on my 2020 trail version and have a Bull Terrier CNC machined from aluminum.

Leoncino owner here since March of last year. Bike is good in terms of power but some issues are there 1) Engine cuts off sometimes when downshifting coming from high RPM or going down hill 2) switches fail sometimes, may be due to moisture going in and rusting the contacts, pressing the buttons again will resolve. WD40 may prevent this in the future. 3) had an instance where the digital display cluster broke, its like when a calculator screen breaks and only portions of the numbers are showing? ganun. good thing is bumalik din, my theory is again moisture kasi i have been riding this thing in the rain of washing it 4) Rust, rust, rust. The frame is mostly steel not an alloy to save cost. and you will notice rust forming in some expose areas soon. There is an area where the rear brake line rubbed against the swingarm and exposing metal and it rusted. Had to sand the part and repaint it to prevent it from rusting further. the rear view mirrors are also rusted and paint starting from the thread are already bubbling up due to rust 5) aluminum corrosion, not sure what type of aluminum they are using but it is certainly low grade. Foot pegs both the rider and the passenger are already showing signs of corrosion same with the brake master cylinder and some aluminum parts. I am concerned about engine parts as it is too aluminum. 6) Chain, the chain rusts very quickly, I am very particular in my maintenance but still could not prevent it. Maybe i just need to replace it with a better one 6) Brake discs rust very quickly too, some of it went to the fork stanchions which i had to clean quickly so the stanchions dont rust. All in all, if i had to go back in time I would not buy this bike. Good looking for sure and engine is very capable, sadly the parts around it are not up to par with other makers. You will be best served by buying something like the XSR 700 for not a whole lot more money.

My honda pcx 125 has LED head lights and they are rubbish compared to the earlier pcx with bulbs,. Same issue when cornering

[@franciscowidmer]

Great bike!

[@williamghafry]

No the little lion is nice, I like it 🦁

[@deepsouthNZ]

great review mate really enjoyed it lots of information about the bike, i have subscribed and look forward to more great reviews. Thank you

[@tomguy9733]

Great video, really informative. Clearly a brilliant midsize bike from a historical bike manufacturer! Thanks. By the way, where can I get some of those spectacles?! They look awesome, especially as I struggle with helmet comfort being a glasses wearer.

[@stebuklas.g]

What is that buzzing sound you can hear while he is riding? My Leoncino also does that..

[@GrimYak]

probably part of the exhaust or cat?

[@Cristopher-S.G]

Are you asking a Benelli Leoncino to not have a lion?. you are mad

[@delalias5754]

maybee...

My english is😬, but i understand your perfect presentation. 💪👍🌟🌟🌟

[@spacestream27]

Szuper jo a video. Informativ, dinamikus

[@1990-t1j]

Excellent review.

[@iangriffiths9930]

Would it be possible to compare this bike to The Fantic 500 scrambler please?? Not many English reviews of any of The Fantic bikes

[@OnroadDotBike]

I'm afraid that Fantic is not available in Hungary.

[@estebansouki7203]

I am thinking of getting one as a first bike. Is it ok for beginners or should I go for the 250?

[@OnroadDotBike]

We just published the review about the Leoncino 250. The 500 is also good for a beginner, because the engine is not an agressive one. But the 250 seems to be a better solution.

[@ZtheGOAT1917]

@@OnroadDotBike for a guy 190cm the leoncino 250 Is good or the 500 Is Better?

[@johngabiano3014]

Been thinking of getting this or sv650. Hmmmm. What do you think?

[@OnroadDotBike]

Personally I like the Benelli better, but you have to try both and listen to your feelings inside! 😉

[@johngabiano3014]

@@OnroadDotBike they just recently launched here in ph. Will visit the dealer prolly this week. Thanks, man!

[@jota1221]

Very informative review. Thanks.

[@ChronicTHCBlaze]

Thanks sir for the English review! Is that a Scandinavian accent?

[@OnroadDotBike]

No, a real Hungarian one. :-D

[@chemgreec]

@@OnroadDotBike really you sound insanely italian, you sound more italian than my italian friends

[@edzoortau2059]

Weight management should have been better and ride by wire feature would perfectly fit this Benelli is what I strongly feel. These two short comings is what feels I shouldn't buy this.

[@rishav4343]

What is the seat hight for this version?

[@noonsight2010]

Interesting review. Another test rider remarked on there being a fair bit of vibration from a very willing engine. Also that he tended to slide forward on the tilted seat. Another issue he had was finding a lot of false neutrals although this may have been down to minor clutch adjustment being required. Lastly, he found the rear brake to be soft. Overall though he found it to be a good riders bike. However, I wouldn't swop my old Benelli 354 Sport II if I still had it. For a Benelli it appears rather bland and has nothing to do with the Italian classics.

[@RidesInforests]

I'm looking at one for a nice comfy starter bike. Would definitely like to try more classic bikes as I progress though.

[@noonsight2010]

​@@RidesInforestsHi. Have a look at Royal Enfield 350 and 500 models also. Try and get test rides. Don't forget to budget for full protective riding gear. Enjoy!

[@RidesInforests]

@@noonsight2010 Will do thanks.
